Software Increment Release Notes ================================ Increment ID: I03A2000 Release: AN20 Date created: 03-31-2005 Increment Type: UER Title: UER Introduce NTNP48BA and NTNP49BA, POTS24 failures, UER alarms ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This Increment addresses the following issues. See below for more details. 1. Introduce the NTNP48BA and NTNP49BA circuit packs. 2. POTS24 (NTNP40AA) failures due to ringing an off-hook line. 3. MLC circuit pack missing false alarm at the UER BIP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduce the NTNP48BA and NTNP49BA circuit packs. * Description: This increment allows for the NTNP48BA (G.SHDSL standards compliant twenty-four port card) and NTNP49BA (ADSL2+ standards compliant twenty-four data ports combined with twenty-four ports of POTS voice capabilities) to the AccessNode portfolio. This increment is a requirement to bring the new circuit packs into an in-service and operational condition on the UER platform. This increment allows support for MVI POTS, CSC POTS and TR08 services. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: None. This increment introduces new capabilities to the AccessNode product line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. POTS24 (NTNP40AA) failures due to ringing an off-hook line. * Description: When ringing is applied to an off-hook line for a short period of time, the entire POTS24 may fail and reset. This occurrence should be relatively rare, as the terminating line must go off-hook in a window of a just few milliseconds. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: Before the application of this increment, the MLC would fail, reset and usually recover on its own. Follow-up testing of the MLC would not indicate any problems. No work-around is necessary, as the MLC would usually recover on its own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. MLC circuit pack missing false alarm at the UER BIP * Description: A UER shelf raises a local, circuit pack missing alarm whenever one or more line card slots are missing line cards. These alarms are reported to the ABM shelf, which determines the services provisioned at each slot, and only raises a circuit pack missing alarm for those slots that have services provisioned on them. Prior to this increment, if a customer has the UER alarms wired to the local BIP (BipServer), a Major Circuit pack missing alarm is always present at the UER BIP, even if the slots with missing line cards do not have services provisioned on them. This increment will suppress the UER BIP alarms raised for missing line card packs that have no service provisioned. * Pre-Increment Impact and work-around: None. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Increments Needed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Increment I01A2000 through I02A2000 need to be successfully applied prior to the application of this increment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Loads Affected: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After successful application of this increment, the APU loads will be: URTDM20AK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- None. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please refer to the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide for general installation instructions.
